Was I excited to see a Savage Worlds newsletter? Heck, yes I was! But, this is the first issue and a lot of space is devoted to a "get to know you" Q&A with some of the licensees and developers for Savage Worlds products. I understand the need for advertisements to keep costs under control so that this could be freely distributed, but it felt like they dominated. This felt a little padded to me.

That said, being the first issue the introduction phase was to be expected. An issue to set up the ground rules and get us ready for what to expect in future issues.

Excellent start to an ambitious indie fanzine for Savage Worlds. Definitely worth a look.

Great for a free e-zine. I learned a lot about the publishers in the Savage Worlds space, which I liked. I also learned of a new product that I want to pursue. True, there's a lot of ads in there, but it's a free mag. And the ads are pretty.

A new eZine for all things Savage World based! The Savage Insider eZine (free on DriveThru) is specifically designed for Savage World players, including links and references to the multifarious games and genres connected with that flexible system. The love for Savage Worlds glows on each page. Also includes a comic strip!

Savage Insider is edited by Aaron Huss of Roleplayer's Chronicle, and The Mystical Throne site, both fonts of much news and wisdom.

I hope that there are many more issues of this to come!

Of the 48 pages, a quarter were advertisements, and over a third was a total puff-piece, round-robin Q&A. The best section, the adventure seeds and NPC, was fantasy-based. As a quarterly magazine, it a long wait to get other genres into the mix. Yes, it is free. Yes, I'm glad I didn't pay for it.

Wow - I can't believe this is free! This ezine is filled with a ton of great stuff, including a small fantasy adventure, a detailed fantasy NPC (complete with adventure hooks), fascinating interviews with a wide variety of SW authors and editors, fiction (both text and illustrated) and more. There are several drool-inspiring full-page color ads, some for SW products I hadn't even heard of before. I can't imagine why a fan of SW wouldn't pick this up. Did I mention that it's free?!
